Subject: [PATCH v3 0/4] uaccess: Add unsafe accessors for arm64

Hi,

First version of this series[1] was briefly in linux-next but had to be
reverted due to a bug where schedule would end up being called while
user_access was active[2].

After clarifications[3], rescheduling while in a user_access region is not
allowed.

* Patches 1 and 2 implement the unsafe accessors for arm64
* Patches 3 and 4 clarify this restriction in the API and attempts to
  check against violations of the restriction.

Changes since v2[4]:
- Rebase on v5.0-rc2
- access_ok() is now done in user_access_begin(), so rework accessors
  so access_ok() is not called in unsafe_get/put_user()
- Split addition of unsafe accessors and the user_access_region check
  into separate patches
- Avoid reading SCTLR_EL1 in user_access_region check
- Add build option for user_access_region checking
- Reword clarifications on unsafe accessors API

Changes since v1[1]:
- Add a way to detect code calling schedule within a user_access region
- Make sure put_user/get_user arguments are evaluated before disabling PAN
